I think we discussed this before because I remember the circumstances. He's not ready yet Amanda to be potty trained. You may need to wait until he is age 3. If you keep insisting on him do if something he's not ready to do, it will just set him back further.

Meanwhile, do what is called "modeling". Make sure he sees that others use one place to use the bathroom and make no big deal about it. Just for now keep showing him that everyone else uses the toilet and soon he will be doing that too. Just keep encouraging him that he is just fine the way he is and that someday he will be a big boy and use the toilet.

Here's a fancy way of me saying that maybe he's not ready yet:

If he won't tell you he has to "pee," either he has not yet made the connection between the feeling he gets when the first bladder sphincter releases and subsequent need to release urine or perhaps he has associated that feeling with being made to go to a special place that he would prefer not to go in order to complete the urination process.

And possibly a negative association with the word "potty."

I guessing that what Sincerity Annabel said is most likely correct---he's just not ready yet.

Stop actively trying and wait a little longer.
